Man With a Gun
by SamiJo Mcquiston (Age: 20)

Age Rating: 10 to 127

  Man With a Gun
Picture Credits:

Writhe and wither alone in the dark.
Search deep within to find the hole.
Fill it up with dirt and water,
Wait for it to expand, to grow.
And what have you gained,
But a wet and muddy hole?
So stitch it with needle and thread,
And feel the bloody seems come undone.
Try to cover it with paper,
And someone will cut it out.
Build it a shield made for war,
And you will die with all the others,
Alone, subdued, and unconscious to life.
Why not simply except it,
And let it scab over and heal?
Why do we always need a quick fix?
Why not mourn and learn to appreciate your loss?
Why not cry until your plum dry?
Why not use your grievance to inspire?
Why, why even bother?

This is verry intense like Paul said. I love it! The title is fitting at first I did not get it but, after rereading it I understand. This is one of your best! Sea of the Lost the first poem of your's I read is still better though. You are better in the older poems. You said you don't think so but, I must disagree. AS alaways the pic is perfectly fitting! Great poem!

This is a very intense piece of poetry. It described a lot clearly and made me think. This was indeed a Great poem! So keep up the awesome work!

Sometimes we write because we want to, but sometimes we write because we have been inspired. You were definitely inspired here. The quality of this poem sets it apart. Its structure is complex and witty. The imagery is vivid, clear and intense and its flow is easy and constant. We are used to quick fixes and in the long run, we suffer for it.
